TIME: 1976 PLACE: Inside Space Ship CHARACTERS: Sheila Sullivan, Howard Publicover Howard: Pardon me, is this seat taken? Sheila: Oh, no, it isn ' t. I couldn ' t help noticing the name on your briefcase. Are you Howard Publicover from Ipswich? Howard: Do I know you? Sheila: I ' m Sheila Sullivan. Don ' t you remember we had the class prophecy together back in high school? Howard: For heaven sakes, yes! What are you doing now? Sheila: I work for the government, the F. B. I. This is a business trip. They ' re sending me to the moon to find a missing scientist. Perhaps you remember him? David Blonda. He ' s working on some experiment with Gary Casali and Donald Pailes, putting oxygen on the dark side of the moon. May I ask what you ' re going to the moon for? Howard: Well, this is a business trip too. I ' m going to the moon to look up the possibility of opening up a Ford Plant. I have them on Pluto and Venus now. John Esperson and Allan Jensen are in charge of them. Maybe you remember Dorothy Lezon. Sheila: Oh, yes. What ' s Dottie doing now? Howard: She ' s my private secretary. Sheila: Speaking of classmates, did you know that Paul Stevens owns this space line? Howard: No! But now I remember — he was interested in flying back in high school, wasn ' t he? Sheila: Yes. Well anyway, quite a few of our classmates are em- ployed by him. For instance, Fred Garand and Bob Tondreault are piloting this particular ship, and the stewardesses are Sue King and Virginia Patch. Howard: I heard that Alfred O ' Brien, Charles Adams, and James Kent are working for James Souter ' s space line, a rival of Stevens! Sheila: I didn ' t realize that so many of our classmates had taken to space! Howard: Yes! I understand that Clarice Stevens, after her trip through Africa, opened the pathway through Neptune. Then Laurien Levesque, seeing the possibilities on this planet, designed a Neptunian dwelling and made Dave Corey custodian of his magnificent floating cathedral where Betty Lavoie plays the organ. Sheila: I also read that Laurien designed the new overhead highway from New York to Paris and it was built by the Comeau Construction Company. Howard: Yes, I heard that too. I had a letter from Jack Hovey saying that he was foreman of Mokey ' s Company. I see that you have a copy of Margaret ' s Interplanetary Journal. Sheila: Oh, yes, I was reading an article by Joanna White and Patty Parr on The Plutonian Government. Howard: I also read in Margaret ' s magazine that Nancy Doty, June Budd, and Sally Cartledge are teaching English to the barbaric Jupi- terians. Sheila: Bill Bousley is doing his part in bringing civilization to Jupiter. He ' s giving motorcycle lessons to all the Jupiterians free of charge. Peggy Comeau went along with him and is teaching the Jupiterian girls the art of cheering. Howard: Did you hear about the near tragedy at Crane ' s Beach? John Murphy, the lifeguard, hearing a faint cry for help, plunged into the water and dragged Barbara Janvrin ashore. She wa: rushed to Wanzer General Hospital in an ambulance driven by Richard Brown, which was escorted by Police Chief James Pappas. On arrival Barb was revived by Dr. Wanzer. Sheila: Speaking of Wanzer General Hospital, Harriet Caverley is the receptionist there. Howard: Have you heard about Dave Baldinelli? He has just built a chain of Five and Dime Stores on Mars. Sheila: Yes, and Sarah Andrews is his secretary, and Joe McCarthy is the accountant for Dave ' s firm. I also read that Corinne Hammond was grounded for awhile. It seems that she was driving so slowly that the people complained; so the Interplanetarian Space License Bureau took her license away. Howard: (Voice) Do you hear that voice? Sheila: Yes, who is it? Howard: That ' s another one of our classmates, David Lindgren. After he graduated from B. U. he, with the help of his manager. Bill Davis, rose to stardom with his golden voice. Sheila: Did you notice that space platform we just passed? Howard: You mean space platform 14? Sheila: Yes, that ' s where Judy Davison and Vera Saunders have their variety store. Janice Atherley works for them as a soda jerk. Howard: I read yesterday that Phil Robishaw, Lewis MacRae, and John Michon have just renewed their contracts with the Space Trotters. Sheila: Well, Audrey Carr certainly has become quite a celebrity. After her fine performance in the senior play she went directly to Broad- way. She is currently traveling all over the universe co-starring with Bob Tetreault in Shakespeare ' s Romeo and Juliet. Howard: I understand that Donald Pailes has to have several secre- taries to keep track of his many books. Two of them are our classmates, Patricia Grover and Maureen Sheppard. By the way, Lucille Gwinn is happily married now and has twelve lovely children. Sheila: Did you know that the famous veterinarian, Stephen Wood- man saved the life of the last living horse on earth! Howard: No, but I read in the paper yesterday that John Clogston and Richard Greenleaf are now co-owners of the Atlantic Refinery Com- pany. Sheila: Oh! I also read that Jackie Gallant and Madeline Carey have opened up a new seamstress shop on the Moon. Howard: Remember the lady that sold you your ticket at the Space Terminal? Well, she ' s Virginia Bruce! Sheila: Yes, and the Space Terminal Infirmary is managed by that famous nurse, Alice Bobola. (Voice) All aground, that ' s going aground! Sheila: Here comes my secretary, Jackie Reeves! Howard: It was fun meeting you, Sheila. Sheila: Yes, we ' ll have to get together again. So long. 28

and secretary respectively, while Dave Blonda became our President and Dave Lindgren our Vice-President. Our Christmas Dance was as successful as our previous dance. Ronald Brown ' s Orchestra furnished the music, and the refreshments and decorations were enjoyed by all. Under Sue King ' s management, our class rings arrived early in the year. In February we were happy to welcome our new prin- cipal, Mr. Pressley. His direct way of speaking and his decisive manner impressed us greatly. In the short time Mr. Pressley has been with us, he has done many construc- tive things for Ipswich High and the students. Next on the social calendar was the Junior Prom. That presented many problems and a lot of hard work. Even- tually, however, after the decorations were finished, we held our Prom on April 15. The decorations, based on the Stairway to the Stars theme, was simply beautiful and the grand march was well done. With Lou Marino and his society orchestra, the evening was a tremendous success. A great deal of talent was displayed by our class in both the variety shows. We all know Audrey Carr ' s piano accompaniment will be a great loss to the school. David Blonda also gave the Gettysburg Address with great feeling at the Memorial Day exercises. This year Margaret Andreozzi was chosen to represent I. H. S. at Girls ' State in Bridgewater, Mass., and David Lindgren and David Blonda represented I. H. S. at Boys ' State in Amherst, Mass. David Blonda was presented the Harvard book for being the most outstanding boy in the Junior class. Now for athletics. Mokey and Bill Bousley were elect- ed as co-captains of the 1955 fotball team. Peggy and Clarice were co-captains of the 1956 girls ' basketball team, and Fred Garand was chosen captain of the 1956 baseball team. Our junior year came quickly to an end, and on Class Day we marched into chapel and took the seats reserved for seniors. We returned in the fall for our last year in high school and took up our residence in Study hall. Our class offcers remained the same, except that Mokey Comeau became our vice-president. This year we were very happy to welcome Mr. Bernard as our history teacher, but he remained with us only until January. Mr. MacKenzie was the teacher who ended the year with us. We sponsored a football dance on September 24. The walls of the gym were decorated with footballs and hel- mets, and black and orange streamers hung from the baskets. This dance added $43.91 to the class treasury. The Halloween Dance, provided by the Boosters Club and sponsored by the Senior Class, was very enjoyable. The orchestra did a splendid job, and the decorations, cider, and doughnuts were appreciated by everyone. In October we selected blue and white as the color of our caps and gowns, chose Pete Zaharis as our photog- rapher, and voted for a Tiger, a class day, and a senior play. This year Mokey Comeau, who well deserved the honor, received the annual football trophy. Sue and Peggy, who did an excellent job of cheering the football players onto victory, became head cheerleaders. Senior Day was held on Thursday, December 22. After the traditional Christmas dinner, we proceeded to the auditorium where jolly Santa Claus, John Hovey, handed out joke presents. Sarah ' s gift brought laughter from everyone, and no wonder. In January, three of our classmates. Bill Bousley, Allen Jensen, Robert Tondreault, left us to join the Navy. In February, Audrey Carr was elected by the senior class as D.A.R. Good Citizenship Girl. On April 5, after five weeks of preparation, we present- ed a three-act play entitled Our Hearts Were Young and Gay. The auditorium was filled to capacity, and the cast was rewarded with many appreciative laughs. A great deal of credit is due to Miss Allen and Miss Blodgett, who worked very patiently. One of our biggest complaints this year was the fact that this year we looked forward as being first in lunch line, but we never seemed to quite make it. In fact, we ' re still at the end of the line. Now that it is time to leave good old Ipswich High, it is with mixed feelings that we say good-bye to one an- other, and to our many teachers who have patiently guid- ed us through the years. In the future, we shall look back upon these years as the happiest, most carefree time of our lives, and not as the ending as it seems now, but as the beginning. 27
